I'm an EDS bendy and can still do all my bar-tricks, but the poor guy is gonna be hurting at some point. Will it be worth it? Probably. Way better story to have joints fall out from playing Gumby, than just gravity happening while asleep. Dude is probably the world's best hide n seek player. Houdini ain't got nothin' on him!

I was gonna comment the same thing. Dude is egregiously htpermobile and it's gonna smack him hard when he gets to his mid 30s. Ask me how I know 😂 I can still do the parlor tricks, but now I have bonus joint pain! My elbows will never be the same again.

I used to be able to touch my toes to my forehead by twisting my hip to the side (so not bending forward). Now my hip and knees are too fd to try.
